Hey guys,
this is the third time within 3 weeks that this was reported. It seems for some reason we are not compatible with automake 1.4 anymore.
We could either fix that or simply depend on automake 1.7+, I tested automake 1.4 and 1.7, 1.4 fails, 1.7 works.
Since this is only needed for people building the sources from SVN/GIT, it probably isn't a big deal at all to increase the minimum required automake version?
What do you think?
For reference, automake 1,4 issues these warnings:
tagmanager/Makefile.am:21: libtagmanager_a_SOURCES defined both conditionally and unconditionally src/Makefile.am:73: invalid unused variable name: `nodist_EXTRA_geany_SOURCES'
The warning in the tagmanager file is easy to fix and I fixed it in SVN r3106. Not sure about the warning in src/Makefile.am.
The next problem is that for some reason the tagmanager/ and scintilla/ subdirectories are not built with automake 1.4, no idea why.
So, the simplest solution could be to just require automake 1.7.
